    Extractions: Main Page Clinical depression goes beyond sadness. It's more than having a bad day or coping with a major loss such as the death of a parent, grandparent, or even a favorite pet. It's also not a personal weakness or a character flaw. Youth suffering from clinical depression cannot simply "snap out of it." As many as one in every 33 children and one in eight adolescents may have depression. Two-thirds of children with mental health problems do not get the help they need. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds and the sixth leading cause of death for 5- to 15-year-olds. Depression is a brain disorder (mental illness) that affects the entire body. Depression affects the way one feels, thinks, and acts. Early-onset depression in children can lead to school failure, alcohol or other drug use, and even suicide. Fortunately, it is highly treatable. Main Training Send comments Continue

Depression is defined as an illness characterized by feelings of depression that persist and interfere with a child or adolescent's ability to function. Children under stress , who experience loss , or who have attentional , learning, conduct or anxiety disorders are at a higher risk for depression. Depression also tends to run in families. The signs of depression in children are very different than in adults. Children process information and feelings differently. If one or more of these signs of depression persist, parents should seek help:

The number of requests have become overwhelming. In the past months you have been encouraged to send me your questions through the Ask The Doctor site for a free psychological consultation. You may continue to do so but it has become impossible to answer every question. Just click any of the links or banners to find your way to the various services. They continue to be free and I make every effort to answer your questions within 24 hours or less. You will find all previous online topics at the CounselingNet Archive site.

If you should have an interest in following up on any of the current or past topics you may be interested in CounselingNet's recent association with Amazon.com. Current books relating to these topics will be available at deeply discounted prices through our bookstore. Expect operations no later than mid January. I have decided to start the new year with a series on understanding the psychological complaints and symptoms of children. It can be very confusing trying to figure out whether your child's "problem behavior" is serious or just a passing phase. For example, I frequently have requests for consultations from parents of "symptomatic" children, but after evaluation of the child find there is no serious psychological problem. Did you know that over 90% of children will develop a phobia, one third suffer night terrors, 10% of five year old boys will be bed wetters (Good & Nelson, 1995). How can a parent know when such "problems" require an evaluation or treatment? Hopefully, after you have read this entire series you will know how to decipher the mixture of symptoms, complaints, and behaviors your children present, and separate the serious from the not-so-serious.

    Extractions: Millions of American children experience persistent sadness and hopelessness. They may withdraw from friends and family, perform poorly in school, act out in anger or stop participating in activities they once enjoyed. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill NAMI ) is trying to get the word out that these children may be suffering from a serious illness called depression. As many as one in 33 children and one in eight adolescents may suffer from depression, according to statistics released by the U.S. Center for Mental Health Services. Moreover, if left untreated, the results of depression can be fatal, including suicide the leading cause of death among adolescents. NAMI, in conjunction with many leading national mental health and advocacy organizations, seeks to increase public awareness of depression in youth and serve as a call to action to help eradicate this highly treatable illness.

    I Battled childhood depression NEW YORK CITYVOICES May/June 1999. I havefought my internal enemy in the form of childhood depression.  
    http://www.newyorkcityvoices.org/jul99g.html
    
    Extractions: Many times the greatest enemy we face is ourselves. I have fought my internal enemy in the form of childhood depression. For now I have won, but the outcome was, for a long time, uncertain. I had lived with depression before, when I was only seven, but I did not remember what it was like. So, when I was 12 and started feeling "in a rut" I thought nothing of it. I did not realize that the gradual slide into a nightmare would continue slowly as days passed. It was late October and as the seasons were changing, I began to feel worse and worse. I thought maybe there wasn't enough daylight, or maybe I had a genetic disorder. Whatever the reason, I knew I was slowly losing control of my life. By December, I was withdrawing from my friends, school, even my own family. Over time, a simple bad day turned into a string of unbearable nightmares, an intolerable existence in an empty void. Despite these warning signs, I still took no steps to stop it. I held on to the belief that it was a natural part of growing up, and it would get better if just given time. By March, everyone in my family knew something was wrong with me. We decided I should see a psychiatrist and find out if medication might help. The psychiatrist diagnosed my depression and prescribed an antidepressant to make me feel better. We also made a decision that seemed even more important to me; we got a dog.

Parents ask us how they can help their children look at life more positively. According to Clinical Psychiatry News, a study by Dr. Martin Seligman at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, shows that optimism can be taught. Our experience at The New Learning Center has also been that helping children identify "negative self talk" and substitute "positive self talk" can be very powerful. In our social skills groups , we teach children to recognize negative thoughts such as "No one likes me" or "I never do well" and to argue with these thoughts, substituting ideas such as "When I am friendly, people like me" or "When I work at something, I improve my skill". In Dr. Seligman's study, children were taught to argue with negative thoughts as if they were arguing with another person. Children who did not have the training were twice as likely to be depressed in later follow-ups.

    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2001-12/acon-ist_1120601.php
    
    Extractions: American College of Neuropsychopharmacology An important step has been taken toward identifying safe and effective medications for treating severe depression in children and adolescents, a serious illness that affects about one youth in 20. Currently, there are no anti-depressant medications approved for use in children and adolescents. “Unfortunately, there is very little information available about treatment for depression in children and adolescents,” said Dr. Karen Dineen Wagner of the University of Texas Medical Branch. Wagner is a member of a team of researchers who conducted a multi-site clinical trial of the effectiveness of citalopram – a popular adult anti-depressant marketed as Celexa by Forest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. – with young patients. “The results of the study show that citalopram may help to relieve the suffering of youths with depression,” Wagner reported on Sunday, Dec. 9, at the annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology held in Waikoloa, Hawaii. Finding effective treatments for this childhood order is particularly critical. Children who suffer from clinical depression lose interest in activities and have low energy, poor concentration and sleeping problems. They may feel so hopeless that they want to kill themselves. Clinical depression can have a devastating impact on children’s school performance, friendships and family relationships. Children who are depressed are likely to experience depression in adulthood. Therefore, treatment of this childhood disorder is critical, Wagner said.

    http://www.undoingdepression.com/articles/ChildrenDepression.html
    
    Extractions: Other signs of depression in children include changes in appetite or energy level; sleeping a great deal more or less than usual; a drop in school performance; and excessive worrying. Especially worrisome is a loss of interest in things that used to give pleasure, as when a child seems not to care any longer for favorite toys or activities. Injuries that may seem accidental may have been the result of carelessness. The child may talk about death or thoughts of punishment. Though it's clear now that preadolescent children do suffer from depression, the actual incidence is not known. Diagnosis is difficult. Estimates range from a few tenths of a percent to the 15 to 20 percent that is found in adults. One estimate which fits our experience is that 10 percent of all children will suffer a depressive episode before age 12. It's well recognized now that suicide, usually a result of depression whether diagnosed or not, is on the increase among teens. But thoughts or wishes of death, and self-destructive behavior (often misinterpreted by adults as risky or dangerous play) are increasingly reported by young children. The idea that a child might think of taking his or her own life is horrifying and repugnant. And while we may be able to entertain the idea in theory, in real life when we run across such a child, perhaps in our own family, our denial kicks in.

    Extractions: AD/HD and Childhood Depression Notes from a talk given by Dr. Sam Goldstein at the European Conference on ADHD - Oxford 8th April 1997. By an ADDNet UK Reporter. Dr. Goldstein is a psychologist working in the Neurology, Learning and Behaviour Centre in Salt Lake City, Utah. He holds a number of teaching and clinical posts, as well as being Chairman of the Professional Advisory Board of CHADD. He is the author of several books and guides for parents and teachers on child development, attention problems and brain injury. Depression may affect as many as 10% of all children before the age of 12, but is likely to affect an even higher percentage of children at greater risk, including those with anxiety, attention deficit or conduct disorder, learning difficulties, etc. If their parents are depressed or if they have parents with bi-polar disorder the risk increases. Depression is episodic, and ranges on a continuum from mild to severe. It is a syndrome a cluster of incapacitating symptoms and behaviours affecting the whole body. These symptoms affect both behaviour and emotion. There is a biological difference in each of us, and some of us are more resilliant than others. It is estimated that approximately 20% of ADHD people carry a trait or predisposition for depression. Thus when ADHD is diagnosed, it is important to consider the possibility of co-existing depression.
